Love Lost in the Dark

“Why do people have to lose love, only to find out what they really had?”

I think about how gentle she was, the memory of her soft beauty permanently etched in my mind.
My eyes fell in love with her and my heart followed. I remember the day it happened. It was many yesterdays ago, and I forever see her love smiling back at me.
With my head in my hand and my heart in my lap, I know how I lost her. How do you reach back in the past and rescue your life?
Tears fell from my eyes and covered my face and I laughed, but I looked back at my laughter and cried. 
Please don't let our love die, as I realized I was serenading an empty audience.  
I love you with my whole heart and soul, I said passionately, but she wasn't there to hear my plea.
It was many yesterdays ago and I forever see her love smiling back at me.

You know this has so much magic to it, I mean the words. Memories of a true love and I can tell it by the way you type. So full of life and then how much you loved this person still exists and haunts you. I should say memories flood your mind. Proud of you Rise for typing this, makes me think of how lucky somebody was to have such a devoted man!
